Region 12 Participation Survey

Please take a moment and complete our participation survey to help us estimate team numbers within the region this season. 

Given the inability to schedule and use school facilities this year, we expect to conduct a virtual region tournament this year.  Team registration costs  have not yet been established but they will be much lower than in the past.  We will conduct both virtual coaches and judges training events but holding the in-person Spontaneous Workshop is unlikely.

While CCI continues to define both the Traditional and Virtual World Finals tournaments, we are working with VOICES on plans for the Virginia State tournament. As soon as those dates and plans are set, we will post them on this website.

 

Odyssey 2020-2021 Season

This is going to be an exciting year! One program, six problems, two platforms!

Given the details of the pandemic, Odyssey of the Mind is offering Traditional Memberships and Virtual Memberships!

Having the option of a Virtual or a Traditional Membership gives everyone the opportunity to use their creativity to solve problems. Teams from both types of memberships will be solving the same problems with the same clarifications.

Every team is guaranteed the opportunity to demonstrate their creativity in an official Odyssey of the Mind tournament.

Teams will be able to advance in competition and could ultimately earn their way to our World Finals or our Virtual World Finals!

Also, all six of our 2020-2021 Long-Term Problems are available now!

Register now at: www.odysseyofthemind.com

Good luck, stay safe, stay creative, and have fun!!
